~~Attractive Leather Binding~~

Abel Allnutt: A Novel

By J. Morier

Paris:  Baudry's European Library,

~ 1837 ~

*************************************************

Octavo.  350 pages.  Hardcover quarter bound in green leather with green marbled boards.  The binding is rubbed but sound.  There is some splitting to the rear hinge near the foot of the spine.  Nice gilt designs on the spine.  Endpapers are marbled.  Early owner's book plates on the front pastedown.  One is of "H. L. Barton" and has a shield with three dragons' heads on within the shield and another above it.  The motto on the banner reads, "Fide et Fortitu Dine."  A smaller label above it offers the location of this book in the owner's library as being Case A, Shelf 4.   A piece of later marbled paper, has been affixed to the front flyleaf (perhaps over another bookplate).  The half title notes, "Collection of Ancient and Modern British Authors. / Vol. CLXXI. / Abel Allnutt." The rear pastedown has the remains of what appears to have been a date due receipt.  A sound copy with clean text.
